Measure 500 grams of basmati rice and set aside.

Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes.

In a pot, heat oil and add whole spices (cumin seeds, cloves, black pepper) to sauté until fragrant.

Add sliced onions and cook until golden brown.

Stir in ginger-garlic paste and crushed green chilies, sautéing for a minute.

Add diced tomatoes and cook until soft.

Incorporate red chili powder, coriander powder, and biryani masala, mixing well.

Add cubed potatoes and stir to coat them in the spice mixture, cooking for a few minutes.

Add yogurt and mix well, then add water, ensuring it's just enough to cover the ingredients.

Once the mixture is boiling, add the soaked and drained rice, gently stirring to combine.

Cover and cook until the rice is tender and water is absorbed, about 15-20 minutes.

Garnish with fresh coriander and serve.
